Crawl Space Encapsulation

Crawl space encapsulation requires certain equipment like a lining or multi-layer vapor barrier and a dehumidifier are some basic products needed to encapsulate a crawl space. If a homeowner decides to encapsulate a crawl by themselves, it would cost around $3,000-$5,000 depending on the size and the condition of the crawl space, but if you decide to get it encapsulated by a professional, which is a better choice, it’d cost from $8,000-$15,000.

If your house comes with a crawl space its best to encapsulate it as soon as possible. The reason is that encapsulating the crawl space can prevent you from many dangers of it remaining unencapsulated.

You can encapsulate your own crawl space in your house with the help of these products; vapor barrier and seal tape. First, you’d have to clean out all your crawl space and take out any extra materials from it. Then you have to cover all the floor area with a vapor barrier and seal it properly with a seal tape. If you wish to cover your crawl space completely, then you’d have to cover the walls and ceiling as well. Although, it would be easier and better to get it done professionally by an encapsulating company like ours.
